Waste Management Phoenix Open named 2018 Tournament of the Year

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA – Thirteen tournaments were honored with “Best Of� awards by the PGA TOUR at the TOUR’s annual Tournament Meetings on December 6. For the third time in five years, the Waste Management Phoenix Open was named the PGA TOUR “Tournament of the Year,� one of two accolades earned in 2018. The Phoenix-area TOUR stop also tied with the Safeway Open for the newly introduced “Most Fan-First Event� Award, which recognizes significant enhancements to the on-site fan experience. The 2018 Waste Management Phoenix Open, won by Gary Woodland in a playoff, saw record attendance, social media engagement and charitable impact. Held at TPC Scottsdale and known for its famous coliseum-style 16th hole, the Waste Management Phoenix Open continues to shatter attendance records, with the 2018 event drawing a weekly total of 720,000 fans, nearly 63,000 more than the previous year. As part of a four-day concert series, over 37,500 fans attended a sold-out performance by Florida Georgia Line after Thursday’s opening round, and fans took to their social channels to share their experience, with tournament channels seeing an influx of more than 20,000 followers, a 36-percent increase. As fan numbers increased, so did the charitable impact, with the 2018 event raising a record $12.2 million for local charities, eclipsing $12 million for the first time. “On behalf of the PGA TOUR, I am pleased to congratulate the Waste Management Phoenix Open for these special recognitions,� said PGA TOUR Chief Tournaments and Competitions Officer Andy Pazder. “The Thunderbirds and Waste Management worked tirelessly to continue and raise the bar across all facets of the event, and the fans responded. With the TOUR’s renewed focus on the fan experience onsite at TOUR events, we are excited to recognize the Waste Management Phoenix Open and all tournament winners on their efforts to improve and innovate the experience at PGA TOUR events.� Below is a complete list of award-winning tournaments: Most Fan-First Event (tie) Waste Management Phoenix Open Safeway Open Best Use of Players The RSM Classic Most Engaged Community Charles Schwab Challenge Best Tournament Sales Wells Fargo Championship Salesperson of the Year Scott Auker, Wells Fargo Championship Best On-Site Staging The Honda Classic Best Title Sponsor Integration John Deere Classic Best Product Club 360, AT&T Byron Nelson Best Integrated Marketing Plan (tie) Farmers Insurance Open RBC Heritage Best in Class Element The Rink, RBC Canadian Open Best Special Event Cheers to 50 years Countdown Party, RBC Heritage Best Charity Integration Sanderson Farms Championship Tournament of the Year Waste Management Phoenix Open Players Choice Travelers Championship

Fantasy Insider: Fantasy golf advice for PGA ChampionshipFantasy Insider: Fantasy golf advice for PGA Championship

Before I get to some exciting news, ShotLink is activated for the PGA Championship. It’s the only major that uses it. As a result, the array of fantasy scoring is in play for PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf presented by SERVPRO. Given the default value on distance off the tee and what is shaping up to be a soggy Bellerive Country Club, consider tilting the balance toward length more than you would usually. After you’ve cemented your lineup for the season’s final major, be sure to keep an eye on the introduction of a new fantasy game at PGATOUR.COM. If you believe that you have a solid handle on PGA TOUR Fantasy presented by SERVPRO, your confidence is poised to be rewarded in the Perfect Lineup Challenge. The new, stand-alone contest will be announced this week. It will consist only of the events of the FedExCup Playoffs. Your objective will be to own the top-four fantasy scorers in all four tournaments. If you succeed, you’ll win $1 million. That’s $1,000,000.00. Seriously. The game will use the same fantasy scoring with which you’re familiar in PGA TOUR Fantasy presented by SERVPRO, but there will not be a limit on the number of starts per golfer. Stay tuned for more details and other prizing. PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf presented by SERVPRO My roster for the PGA Championship (in alphabetical order): Patrick Cantlay Tony Finau Dustin Johnson Brooks Koepka Rory McIlroy Justin Thomas You’ll find my starters in Expert Picks. Others to consider for each category (in alphabetical order): Scoring: Jason Day; Tommy Fleetwood; Rickie Fowler; Marc Leishman; Phil Mickelson; Alex Noren; Jon Rahm; Patrick Reed; Justin Rose; Tiger Woods Driving: Keegan Bradley; Paul Casey; Jason Day; Tommy Fleetwood; Rickie Fowler; Francesco Molinari; Justin Rose; Adam Scott; Kyle Stanley Approach: Keegan Bradley; Rickie Fowler; Zach Johnson; Matt Kuchar; Louis Oosthuizen; Ian Poulter; Jordan Spieth; Henrik Stenson; Tiger Woods Short: Paul Casey; Jason Day; Tyrrell Hatton; Matt Kuchar; Phil Mickelson; Alex Noren; Justin Rose; Webb Simpson; Tiger Woods Returning to Competition Justin Rose … Back spasms thwarted an appearance in last week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, and he didn’t “need” to exacerbate the malady. Consider him green-lit in all formats at Bellerive. Adam Hadwin … Sat out last week’s finale at Firestone due to a sore hip. No better than T35 at Carnoustie in his last eight starts. Currently 67th in the FedExCup standings and has already acknowledged (on Twitter) that he won’t be lacing it up at Sedgefield next week. Troy Merritt … Hasn’t missed competition but still could be a tee-time decision after having surgery to remove a blood clot in his left arm since winning the Barbasol Championship. Notable WDs Graham DeLaet … On July 24, he announced plans to have microdiscectomy surgery on his L4-L5 disc. The 36-year-old is expecting to miss as much as one year of competition. While he hasn’t competed since October, 2018 hasn’t been a total loss as he was inducted into Boise State University’s Athletics Hall of Fame in April. Lee Westwood … Shortly after gaining entry via the Official World Golf Ranking, he withdrew with an undisclosed injury. It’s just the second time (2010) since he made his PGA Championship debut in 1997 that he’s missed the major. The Englishman turned 45 in April. Bernd Wiesberger … The 32-year-old Austrian would have cracked the field via the OWGR, but he remains sidelined with a wrist injury. He’s been out for three months.
